Infant headrest assembly with cloth garment and combinations thereof

ABSTRACT

The present disclosure relates to an infant headrest assembly with cloth garment and provides multiple configurations to that system. More particularly, this disclosure describes a structure that may support an infant&#39;s head and body. In one illustrative embodiment, the structure may have a cushion that may include an angular indent. The angular indent may include a top on one end and bottom on the other end with a wider gap near the top and a narrow gap near the bottom. The wider gap may provide a head support and the narrow gap may provide a neck support. A cloth garment may be coupled to the cushion near the bottom of the angular indent. The cloth garment may include a plurality of apertures and fastener for supporting or securing the body of the infant.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure generally relates to a headrest assembly with clothgarment, and more particularly, to a cushion having an angular orconcave indent for placement of a head and neck of an infant with anattached garment for wrapping or swaddling a body of the infant.

BACKGROUND

Swaddling may be used by hospitals, parents and caregivers for the firstfew weeks or months of an infant's life. Beneficially, swaddling mayrestrain movement of the infant including their arms and legs. Thisrestraint may prevent the infant from touching or scratching himself orherself. It may also inhibit rolling. Swaddling may also mimic a tightor compact environment similar to a mother's womb for which the infantmay have grown accustomed to. Through this environment, an infant mayfeel more secure likely leading to sleep.

A number of different swaddling techniques and devices have beendeveloped. In its simplest form, a blanket may be used and wrappedaround the baby. The blanket may be laid on a firm flat surface. Aportion of the blanket may then be folded down from a top of theblanket. The infant may be placed on top of the swaddle off center andcloser to the right side. The infant's arms may be secured and wrappedwithin the blanket. The blanket may then be draped across the chest ofthe infant thus preventing the limbs of the infant from movement.

There may be drawbacks with current swaddling devices and techniques.Swaddles may become easily loosened or removed by the infant thus losingthe benefits of swaddling. Furthermore, swaddles may not provide propersupport for the head of the infant. Placing the infant on their backwith the swaddle may result in Flat Head Syndrome. This may be due tothe skull of the infant being soft or susceptible.

The present disclosure provides an infant headrest assembly with clothgarment that solves each of the described concerns. The infant headrestassembly and cloth garment may be easily transportable and adapted todifferent infant sizes. Furthermore, proper placement of the infant'shead may be achieved. Other benefits and advantages will become clearfrom the disclosure provided herein and those advantages provided aboveare for illustration.

Moreover, nothing disclosed herein isintended to be dedicated to the public regardless of whether suchdisclosure is explicitly recited in the claims.

The present disclosure relates to an infant headrest assembly with clothgarment and provides multiple configurations to that system. Moreparticularly, this disclosure describes a structure that may support aninfant's head, neck and body. In one illustrative embodiment, thestructure may have a cushion that may include an angular indent. Theangular indent may include a top on one end and bottom on the other endwith a wider gap near the top and a narrow gap near the bottom. Thewider gap may provide a head support and the narrow gap may provide aneck support. A cloth garment may be coupled to the cushion near thebottom of the angular indent. The cloth garment may include a pluralityof apertures and fastener for supporting or securing the body of theinfant.

Numerous other modifications or configurations for the infant headrestassembly with cloth garment will become apparent from the descriptionprovided below. Advantageously, the cushion may provide support for thehead and neck of the infant. The cloth garment in addition may be usedto swaddle the infant which may provide an environment conducive forsleep. The assembly with cloth garment may be easily stored andrelocated. While the infant headrest assembly with cloth garment maycome in a single system or structure, it may also come in multiplepieces each of which may be washed individually. Other advantages willbecome apparent from the description provided below.

The present disclosure will disclose a first infant headrest assemblywith cloth garment in FIG. 1. FIG. 2 will show in more detail the clothgarment with FIG. 3 showing an infant placed within the headrestassembly with cloth garment. FIGS. 4 through 6 will provide a differentconfiguration for the cloth garment. A second infant headrest assemblywith cloth garment will be shown in FIG. 7. While the present disclosureis described with respect to an infant, other characterizations of theinfant may be used, for example, child or baby.

Turning now to FIG. 1, a top perspective view of an exemplary infantheadrest assembly with cloth garment 100 in accordance with one aspectof the present disclosure is provided. The infant headrest assembly withcloth garment 100 may also be referred to as a system or structure forthe purposes of the present disclosure. The infant headrest assemblywith cloth garment 100 may include a headrest 102 and a cloth garment104. Other components will be shown in the following description, someof which may be included or removed from the infant headrest assemblywith cloth garment 100 to form different configurations.

The headrest 102 may be referred to as a cushion or pillow. In oneembodiment, the headrest 102 may be made of foam. Different types offoam may be used. A level of firmness for each different type of foammay be considered when selecting the type of headrest 102 to be used. Inone alternative, fabric and/or stuffing may be used to make the headrest102. The stuffing may include feathers, down or other soft materials.Typically, the stuffing may be used to provide a soft surface for theinfant's head. Typically, the stuffing for the headrest 102 may be firmenough to support the infant's head such that it does not sink into theheadrest 102.

Continuing with FIG. 1, the headrest 102 may include an angled flatsection 106. The angled flat section 106 may at one end start at ahigher elevation or height and then terminate at another end at a lowerelevation or height. In more detail, the angled flat section 106 maystart at a first side 110 and end at a second side 112. A top of thefirst side 110 of the headrest 102 may be higher than a top of thesecond side 112 of the headrest 102.

As will be appreciated, the headrest 102 may come in a number ofdifferent shapes and sizes. The headrest 102 may be defined by a seriesof sides that are separated by edges. The headrest 102 may have thefirst side 110 which has a higher elevation than the second side 112 ofthe headrest 102. The first side 110 may wrap around into first edges118. The first edges 118 may turn into third sides 114. The third sides114 may wrap around into second edges 120. This, in turn, may lead intofourth sides 116 followed by third edges 122. Completing the headrest102, the third edges 122 may lead into the second side 112 which waspreviously defined. Each of the third sides 114 and fourth sides 116 mayhave an elevation or height increase or decrease depending on whetherthey are headed towards the first side 110 or second side 112,respectively. By doing this, the angled flat section 106 may rise orlower to support the infant's head and neck.

Different configurations and embodiments for the headrest 102 may beprovided. The headrest 102 may be formed in the shape of characters orcomical patterns. Furthermore, patterns or drawings may be provided onthe headrest 102. For example, cartoon characters may be displayed onthe edges and/or sides as well as the angled flat section 106 of theheadrest 102.

To support the infant's head and neck, the angular indent 108 isprovided within the headrest 102. The angular indent 108 may be surroundby the angled flat section 106 of the headrest 102. In more detail, theangular indent 108 may be concave in shape and be formed by removing asection or sections out of the headrest 102. The angular indent 108 maycome in a variety of forms and the shown angular indent 108 is forpurposes of illustration.

The angular indent 108 of FIG. 1 may have a top 126 and a bottom 128.The top 126 of the angular indent 108 may be at a top of the first side110 of the headrest 102. This point may have a higher or greaterelevation than that of the bottom 128 of the angular indent 108. Thebottom 128 may be at the top of the second side 112 or on the secondside 112 itself. A centerline 124 of the angular indent 108 may extendfrom the top 126 to the bottom 128 from one end of the headrest 102 tothe other.

As shown, the centerline 124 of the angular indent 108 may be lower thanthat of the angled flat section 106 of the headrest 102 as thecenterline 124 traverses downwards from one end of the headrest 102 tothe other end. The centerline 124 transitions from the top 126 of theangular indent 108 which starts at the top of the first side 110 down tothe top of the second side 112 of the headrest 102.

The angular indent 108 may be defined by portions along the centerline124. Near the top of the centerline 124, a wider gap is provided. Thewider gap is defined by a greater angle at the centerline 124 of theangular indent 108. This greater angle from the centerline 124 outwardsmay result in a less dramatic increase in elevation from the centerline124 to the outward portions, which may be called the head supports 132of the angular indent 108. That is, the angle from the centerline 124that extends towards the edges at a top portion is greater causing aless increase in elevation and lower gradient. Through this lowergradient, the head of the infant may be supported. Some movements may beallowed through the larger space supported by the wider angle from thecenterline 124.

The head supports 132 of the angular indent 108 may converge at the top126 of the angular indent 108. The angles from the centerline 124 atthis convergence may steadily decrease, that is, the angles may becomesmaller. Through the smaller angles, the shorter the angular indent 108may have before it reaches the angled flat section 106. This may resultin more space for the angled flat section 106. As shown, as the angledecreases from the centerline 124 of the angular indent 108, the lessspace the angular indent 108 may take away from the angled flat section106 dependent on how the angled flat section 106 is cut.

In the opposite direction, as the centerline 124 traverses downwards andaway from the head supports 132, and to a lower elevation, the anglesfrom the centerline 124 begins to decrease. This may result in theangular indent 108 having a higher gradient or slope. This may cause theangular indent 108 to reach the angled flat section 106 quicker and thusless of the angular indent. 108 may be exposed. This may cause theangular indent 108 to reach the angled flat section 106 quicker and theangled flat section 106 would cover more area than if the angle from thecenterline 124 was greater.

Near the bottom 128 of the angular indent 108, the angle from thecenterline 124 may become smaller. This smaller angle would increase thegradient or slope of the angular indent 108 to which the angular indent108 would intersect the angled flat section 106. This may result in asharper incline or narrow gap within the angular indent 108. This narrowgap may define neck supports 130 of the angular indent 108. The necksupports 108, as shown in FIG. 1, may be above or near the bottom 128 ofthe angular indent 108. By having a steep or greater incline than thehead supports 132, the infant's neck may be supported by the narrowergap. Less movement may also be associated with the neck supports 108through the narrow gap.

Through the angular indent 108, and as shown above, the head and neck ofthe infant may be supported at multiple points. The head may besupported by the head supports 132 of the angular indent 108 which iswider. This width may more easily support the head which is larger thanthe neck of the infant. The head supports 132 of the angular indent 108may allow for limited movement and full support.

The narrower gap, as defined by the neck supports 130, may be at a lowerelevation or height within the angular indent 108. Noticeably, the necksupports 130 are narrower than the head supports 132 such that it mayprovide more support and firmness to hold and retain the infant's neckinto place.

Continuing with FIG. 1, the centerline 124 of the angular indent 108 mayend at the bottom 128 of the angular indent 108. From the neck supports130, the angle of the centerline 124 becomes less and thus the gradientor slope becomes much greater. Thus, the angular indent 108 becomesnarrower. Similar to the neck supports 130, this may support theshoulders or other sections of the infant.

On the second side 112 of the headrest 102, the cloth garment 104 may beconnected at a connection point 134. The connection point 134 may be notnecessarily a single point but an area where the headrest 102 mayconnect to the cloth garment 104 along the second side 112. The clothgarment 104 may be connected to the second side 112 through differenttypes of fasteners. For purposes of illustration, the cloth garment 104may be connected to the headrest 102 using a joint, side release buckle,bayonet clip or other similar device including but not limited to, hooksand loop type fasteners, clasps, buckles, zippers, snaps, buttons,magnets, screws, nuts and bolts, adhesives, releasable adhesives orother types of fasteners.

In one embodiment, the fastener may allow for easy separation betweenthe cloth garment 104 and headrest 102. Through this separation, thecomponents may be easily washed or cleaned either individually ortogether. Furthermore, interchangeability may be part of the infantheadrest assembly with cloth garment 100. That is, for example, oneheadrest 102 may be usable with multiple cloth garments 104.Alternatively, one cloth garment 104 may be used with multiple headrests102. Advantageously, this may be used to fit different infants who varyin size and shape with the infant headrest assembly with cloth garment100.

Another benefit of the interchangeability is that if one part is wornout, the whole structure or system does not need to be replaced. Forexample, if the cloth garment 104 is soiled such that it is notsalvageable, then the cloth garment 104 may be easily replaced withanother one. Different mixtures and combinations of the headrest 102 orcloth garment 104 may be used together and intermixable.

In one embodiment, the cloth garment 104 may be connected at theconnection point 134 to the headrest 102 permanently. This permanentconnection may allow for easy cleanup and removal of the infant headrestassembly with cloth garment 100 when the infant no longer uses it.

FIG. 2 is a top perspective view of the exemplary infant headrestassembly with cloth garment 100 of FIG. 1 having an extended garment 104for swaddling in accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure.As shown above, the simple cloth garment 104 was affixed to the headrest102 which was shorter than the one presently shown. This should howevernot be construed as limiting as the cloth garment 104 may come in avariety of shapes and sizes.

The cloth garment 104 may be connected to the second side 112 at theconnection point 134 through a number of fasteners. As discussed, thisconnection may be permanent or temporary. The cloth garment 104 mayinclude a first section 202 and a second section 204. The cloth garment104 including the first section 202 and the second section 204 may bemade of a soft cotton knit. This cotton may allow the cloth garment 104to be stretched. Other materials that the cloth garment 104 may be madeof may include, but are not limited to, thermal waffle, polyester,fleece, muslins, flannel and eco-friendly options such as organic cottonor bamboo.

On the first section 202 may be a fastener 206. While not shown, morethan one fastener 206 may be used. The fastener 206 embodied within FIG.2 may be a button. Other fasteners 206 may be used which may include,but are not limited to, a joint, side release buckle, bayonet clip orother similar device including but not limited to, hooks and loop typefasteners, clasps, buckles, zippers, snaps, magnets, screws, nuts andbolts, adhesives, releasable adhesives or other fasteners. Furthermore,the fastener 206 while tied to the first cloth section 202 may also bepart of the second cloth section 204.

The second section 204 may have a number of apertures 208 to connect tothe fastener 206 described above. These apertures 208 may be spacedapart at incremental distances. Through the fastener 206 on the firstsection 202 and the apertures 208 on the second section 204, the infantmay be swaddled or wrapped tightly. The different apertures 208 on thesecond section 204 may allow the user adjust the size and tightness ofthe swaddling of the infant.

In addition, the cloth garment 104 may include a back portion 212. Thisback portion 212 may be a made of the same cotton or other materialsdescribed above. Alternatively, the back portion 212 may be made of aharder or stiffer material. This may include cardboard, for example. Acushion material may also be used similar to that described above in theconstruction of the headrest 102. The firmness or rigidness of thematerials may provide proper support for the infant's back.

In one embodiment, the back portion 212 may include a centerline 210.This physical demarcation may be used for aligning the infant such thattheir back corresponds with the headrest 102 and the cloth garment 104of the infant headrest assembly with cloth garment 100. In someembodiments, the centerline 210 may not be used.

FIG. 3 is a top perspective view of the exemplary infant headrestassembly with cloth garment 100 of FIG. 1 having an infant 302 placedthereon in accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure. Inoperation, a user who is intending to place their infant 302 on theinfant headrest assembly with cloth garment 100 may do so as follows.While the positions and alignments are described in a certain order, thepresent disclosure should not be construed as limiting to such. Forexample, the head 304 and neck 310 of the infant 302 may be positionedfirst or last after or before the arms 306 and legs 308 of the infant302.

The headrest assembly with cloth garment 100 may be placed on the groundor other surface. The user may adjust the infant 302 as needed such thatthe head 304 of the infant 302 may be placed within the angular indent108 of the headrest 102. That is, the neck 310 and head 304 of theinfant 302 may be properly supported as described above. The angularindent 108 may be shifted up or down to make this adjustment.

Following, the infant 302 may be adjusted to fit within the clothgarment 104 of the headrest assembly with cloth garment 100. The infant302 may be positioned along the centerline 210 of the back portion 212.By positioning the infant 302 at this centerline 210, the infant's bodymay be properly aligned.

After placement of the infant 302 on the centerline 210, the secondsection 204 of the cloth garment 104 may be wrapped around the arms 306and legs 308 of the infant 302. This may occur by wrapping and securingthe arms 306 and legs 308 individually. The first section 202 may thenbe used to secure the second section 204 together creating a swaddle forthe infant 302. Using the fastener 206 on the first section 202 this maybe inserted into the apertures 208 on the second section 204. Thetightness between the first section 202 and second section 204 may beadjusted by pulling the first section 202 and the second section 204together and securing them through the fastener 206 to the apertures208, with the plurality of apertures 208 allowing for varying tightnessand comfort levels to the infant 302.

There are a number of different techniques that may be used for placingthe infant 302 on the headrest assembly with cloth garment 100 and theoperation described above should not be construed as limiting to thepresent disclosure. The first section 202 of the cloth garment 104 maybe tied or fastened to the second section 204 in a different manner. Forexample, different extremities may be tied down or secured using thefirst section 202 instead of the second section 204. Furthermore, thecloth garment 104 may be interchangeable such that larger or smallercloth garments 104 may be used depending on the size of the infant 302and how the particular user intends to swaddle the infant 302.

With reference now to FIG. 4, a top perspective view of the exemplaryinfant headrest assembly with cloth garment 100 of FIG. 1 having anillustrative different cloth garment 402 in accordance with one aspectof the present disclosure is provided.

Furthermore, circular lip 606 may be placed into groove 612.While three sets of circular lips 602, 604 and 606 were fitted to thethree grooves 608, 610 and 612, fewer or less fastening mechanisms maybe used and thus, the present disclosure should not be construed aslimited to the embodiment shown.

FIG. 7 is a top perspective view of another exemplary infant headrestassembly with cloth garment 700 showing a lower angular indent 708 inaccordance with one aspect of the present disclosure. The infantheadrest assembly with cloth garment 700 may have an angular indent 708that ends at a lower point than that previously shown. That is, theangular indent 708 may end at a middle portion of a second side 712.

The infant headrest assembly with cloth garment 700 may include aheadrest 702 and a cloth garment 704. The headrest 702 may be referredto as a cushion or pillow. Similar to the headrest 102 described above,the headrest 702 of the headrest assembly with cloth garment 700 may bemade of similar materials.

The headrest 702 may include an angled flat section 706. The angled flatsection 706 may at one end start at a higher elevation or height andthen terminate at another end at a lower elevation or height. In moredetail, the angled flat section 706 may start at a first side 710 andend at a second side 712. A top of the first side 710 of the headrest702 may be higher than a top of the second side 712 of the headrest 702.

Similar to the headrest 102 presented above, the headrest 702 of theheadrest assembly with cloth garment 700 may be defined by a series ofsides that are separated by edges. The headrest 702 may have a firstside 710 which has a higher elevation than a second side 712 of theheadrest 702. The first side 710 may wrap around into first edges 718.The first edges 718 may turn into third sides 714. The third sides 714may wrap around into second edges 720. This, in turn, may lead intofourth sides 716 followed by third edges 722. Completing the headrest702, the third edges 722 may lead into the second side 712 which waspreviously defined. Each of the third sides 714 and fourth sides 716 mayhave an elevation or height increase or decrease depending on whetherthey are headed towards the first side 710 or second side 712,respectively, By doing this, the angled flat section 706 may rise orlower to support the infant's head and neck.

To support the infant's head and neck, the angular indent 708 isprovided within the headrest 702. The angular indent 708 may be surroundby the angled flat section 706 of the headrest 702. In more detail, theangular indent 708 may be concave in shape and be formed by removing asection or sections out of the headrest 702. The angular indent 708 ofFIG. 7 may have a top 726 and a bottom 728. The top 726 of the angularindent 708 may be at a middle portion of the angled flat surface 706 ofthe headrest 702. This point may have a higher or greater elevation thanthat of the bottom 728 of the angular indent 708. As shown, the bottom728 may be at or near a middle portion of the second side 712.

A centerline 724 of the angular indent 708 may extend from the top 726to the bottom 728 from the middle of the angular flat section 706 of theheadrest 702 to one end. As shown, the centerline 724 of the angularindent 708 may be lower than that of the angled flat section 706 of theheadrest 702 as the centerline 724 traverses downwards from the middleof the headrest 702 to the end on the second side 712.

The angular indent 708 may be defined by portions along the centerline724. Near the top of the centerline 724, a wider gap is provided. Thewider gap is defined by a greater angle at the centerline 724 of theangular indent 708. This greater angle from the centerline 724 outwardsmay result in a less dramatic increase in elevation from the centerline724 to the outward portions, which may be called the head supports 732of the angular indent 708. That is, the angle from the centerline 724that extends towards the edges at a top portion is greater causing aless increase in elevation and lower gradient. Through this lowergradient, the head of the infant may be supported. Some movements may beallowed through the larger space supported by the wider angle from thecenterline 724.

The head supports 732 of the angular indent 708 may converge at themiddle of the angle flat section 706. The angles from the centerline 724at this convergence may steadily decrease, that is, the angles maybecome smaller. Through the smaller angles, the shorter the angularindent 708 may have before it reaches the angled flat section 706. Thismay result in more space for the angled flat section 706. As shown, asthe angle decreases from the centerline 724 of the angular indent 708,the less space the angular indent 708 may take away from the angled flatsection 706 dependent on how the angled flat section 706 is cut.

In the opposite direction, as the centerline 724 traverses downwards andaway from the head supports 732, and to a lower elevation, the anglesfrom the centerline 724 begin to decrease. This may result in theangular indent 708 having a higher gradient or slope. This may cause theangular indent 708 to reach the angled flat section 706 quicker and thusless of the angular indent 708 may be exposed. This may cause theangular indent 708 to reach the angled flat section 706 quicker and theangled flat section 706 would cover more area than if the angle from thecenterline 724 was greater.

Near the bottom 728 of the angular indent 708, the angle from thecenterline 724 may become smaller. This smaller angle would increase thegradient or slope of the angular indent 708 to which the angular indent708 would intersect the angled flat section 706. This may result in asharper incline or narrow gap within the angular indent 708. This narrowgap may define neck supports of the angular indent 708 especially wherethe angular indent 708 traverses through the second side 712. The necksupports may be above or near the bottom 728 of the angular indent 708.By having a steep or greater incline than the head supports 732, theinfant's neck may be supported by the narrower gap. Less movement mayalso be associated with the neck supports through the narrow gap.

Through the angular indent 708, and as shown above, the head and neck ofthe infant may be supported at multiple points. The head may besupported by the head supports 732 of the angular indent 708 which iswider. This width may support the head which is larger than the neck ofthe infant. The head supports 732 of the angular indent 708 may allowfor limited movement and full support.

The narrower gap, which may provide neck supports, may be at a lowerelevation or height within the angular indent 708. Noticeably, the necksupports are narrower than the head supports 732 such that it mayprovide more support and firmness to hold and retain the infant's neckinto place. The narrow gap may also support the shoulders or othersections of the infant.

On the second side 712 of the headrest 702, the cloth garment 704 may beconnected at a connection point 734, which may run along an entirelength of the second side 712. The cloth garment 704 may be connected tothe second side 712 through different types of fasteners. For purposesof illustration, the cloth garment 704 may be connected to the headrest702 using a joint, side release buckle, bayonet clip or other similardevice including but not limited to, hooks and loop type fasteners,clasps, buckles, zippers, snaps, buttons, magnets, screws, nuts andbolts, adhesives, releasable adhesives or other types of fasteners. Asshown before, the cloth garment 704 may be interchanged with differentconfigurations, similar to that shown in FIG. 2.
